The Original Junk Yard Hammer
Ғылым және технология
Built by Grant Sarver and Jack Slack. I created the junkyard hammer challenge on the old "Blacksmiths Virtual Junkyard" or "Keen Junk" a dozen years ago. This was the result - a hammer built from junk! We brought it to the Ashville NC ABANA Conference and at the end sold it to the first guy with $100.00!

Things like this are exactly the reason why I invested in an everlast welder. I collect junk anyway so I might as well make stuff out of it.
The use of the leaf springs for de-coupling the rod from the hammer arm is blazingly brilliant!
I love backyard engineering... So creative!
I have to say this is one of the coolest things I've seen.
Now THAT is ingenuity! So cool - thanks for posting!
I had a engine that sounded like that once! but not for long!!! great video!
You just can't beat poor man ingenuity. Awesome hammer guys. Thanks for sharing the video.
There is smart and then there is blacksmith smart. Bravo Gentlemen!
I have seen some others on here, but your hammer is truly a HAMMER!!! That's just awesome! Much beefier than others I have seen, looks quite rugged as well, and like the hits are very solid. Nice job, great ingenuity!
This is absolutely the best I have ever seen. Bravo lads.
There is no one more creative than a backyard mechanic. Give him access to a junkyard and tools. He'll make whatever you want. Awesome job fellas.

Wow... Good job, and thanks for sharing this with us..
Clever Gents! Well Done....Love it!
That should win some kind of prize.... Great American Ingenuity.
Fix on the floor and it's perfect!! Good job!
Unbelievable. You guys are good
Nice project and nicely explained to your viewers. Well done you blokes.
Certainly is junkyard but very creative and resourceful. Good work!
you guys are legends, well done
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
Wow you guys made a hell of a machine
I sure miss the old Blacksmith's Virtual Junkyard forum! I drifted away from 'smithing as a hobby (bad shoulder for a couple years, got into a couple other things) and by the time I drifted back, I realized it was gone. :-(
excellent, you guys are geniuses, enjoyed your video very much!!!!
Wow, super cool creation!
You have inspired me to build one for myself. F150 straight six stripped - check. Now for the hard part! Awesome video. Thanks for posting it.

Did you get it built?
Great video!! Awesome hammer!
very well thought out!!
Good project, buddy Congratulations Greetings from Colombia
Worth way more than $100 in time invested and in usefulness!
That is Awesome! thanks for sharing.
That is insanely awesome!
Awesome job guys.......well done.
Master of Mech Engineering...Great Design
man I'd been sweating how to afford a power hammer, now I'm building my own
Looking good !
Very cool video, thank you for sharing.
Nice power Hammer guys good job
Best build ever.
that's friggin' brilliant! I think I'll have to build one of these when I get my shop up and running
I tell the young guys that I work with, the only thing holding you back is your imagination and your ambition. Nothing is holding you back, great job. When that block is hanging out with the other blocks, hey guys I'm banging tonight how about you. Be blessed and enjoy life.
Looks like best power hammer design
Straight up genius level
fantastic!!!!! thanks for sharing
Dude.....what a great hammer !
So simple as abc but quite genius! Greetings from France!
You have the best welds out of every other KZreadr that doesn't make welding videos
New here. You guys are amazing. Yes, Rub Goldberg is alive and doing quite well in your shop! Wish I had the brains. creativity and skill to build one like it. Keep up the good work and looking forward to your next creation. Cheers, Roy Lewis Atlanta, Georgia USA
Jacks smiling face lol- great contraption btw- thanks for sharing.
Nice job thanks for sharing.
What a good job
Brilliant engineering.
Really its very good and great art of work. God bless you.
Excelente trabajo. Lo felicito por su ingenio. Un gran saludo desde Argentina.
You're a genius.
Ingenius idea, just need an old straight six block and crank!
simply brilliant.bravo.
this has to be one of the best home built power hammers I have seen so far, I would love to build one for myself, I am just not sure if or how I could get some of the parts like the flywheel pulley on the back, I have never seen anything like that so I don't have the slightest idea where to get that part from, I am very impressed and this video shows what someone is capable of with just a lil bit of imagination and the knowledge to accomplish the task at hand
cool, it amazes me how people used to do this by hand.
Best use of a chevy engine yet!!
Fantastic job guys...very well done. I wish I had access to a workshop like that. Greetings from Brisbane, Australia. Rob.
amazing. I have a small block 350 in bad shape it will never c the road again. it will c the shop for the rest of its life. thx
beautiful hammer, smart construction.
You are amazing!
My father was a Machinist for 44yrs he would have loved to see this!!!! Guys I am impressed!!! Can u make one for me???
I love steampunk mechanics. Job well done.
Great Job Gents
I really liked the clear narration along with showing the various mechanisms with their action. On of the best videos of its type I've seen to date. You have a good voice for the narration too. Nice and clear. Out of interest, what size was the Chev? 250, 292? I know what I can use mine for once it gets past it. Great video.
Awesome use of a chevy! I'm going to build it.
awesome! Good stuff
That is a great machine.
Great tool👍👍
I must say, that's awfully danged clever adapting the engine for the reciprocal motion!

Man that looks fun!!!
sweet job !
That thing deserves some IEEE awards!
great clip its been a long time since I've seen the "keen junk/virtual" junkyard name. I miss that sight and the friendly environment. these newer sights just don't have that tailgate o your truck BS'n with friends feel. Anyone with an archive copy knew me as DT.
Chapeau, MASTER!
very clever,what size motor do u think is best for this type of application.i have always wanted to build a hammer and this vid explains it the best.thanks alot for taking the time to share your knowledge and creativity with us.keep up the good work and looking forward to more of your vids.
Ingenious.Did you leave the rings on the piston?
great idea!!!
Great hammer!
realmente sorprendente el desarrollo de ingeniería aplicada, muy bien hecho, felicidades y gracias por compartir su diseño
genius brother , I am subbing
good job man, it a beatifull machine, good job.
WELL DONE!!!!
nice work
Fantastic!
Very cool. Works like hot damn!
beautiful
Nice machine.
Excellent! I wonder how the cast block will hols up over time? I might have supported it to the base.
That is really good do u have to use an engine block or could u use something else
That's awesome
Nice work ! would the main bearings last without oil though ?
Brilliant!....
AWSOME!!
Very awesome nice work :)
what kills me is why there would be even one dislike on this. great job guys
Genial amigo muy original gracias por compartir tu idea sigan así buenísimo saludos
hell yeah buddy. Nice hammer
